The excitement is mounting as the 151st running of the Kentucky Derby is just four days away.
Billed as "the most exciting two minutes in sports," the Kentucky Derby covers 1¼ miles and is the first leg of American horse racing's Triple Crown.
Held at historic Churchill Downs in Louisville, the Kentucky Derby and its sibling race, the Kentucky Oaks, have been run every year since their inception in 1875.
The 20 three-year-olds in this year's field will look to follow in the hoofsteps of 2024 winner Mystik Dan, who edged Sierra Leone by less than a nose at the finish.
Here's everything you need to know about this year's "Run for the Roses."
The 151st running of the Kentucky Derby will be held Saturday, May 3 as part of a 14-race card at Churchill Downs.
